[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The essays will be annoying even for URMs, being asked by colleges to "sell trauma," as a recent article on this discussed. What about the National Recognition Programs for URMs from College Board? They expanded during COVID, including not only the top 10% of PSAT scorers per group by state, but also those with a 3 on two AP exams, not a very high bar. Back door?[/quote] “Back door” expressly forbidden by scotus. [/quote] Correct. Most people never read the ruling. The papers like to quote the Roberts passage, but he also warned against using it as a backdoor. The court couldn't (as it never would have wanted to) rule that colleges couldn't tell kids what to talk about in the essays. But schools will need to tread carefully because as long as someone can show a pattern of admitting one race at a lower standard measured by grades and scores, they open themselves up to lawsuits.[/quote]
